Give Thanks Dear Teacher, “… God’s children are like stars that shine brightest in the darkest skies; like the chamomile, which, the more it is trodden down, the faster it spreads and grows.…” “… We should never forget that the prison, the scaffold, and the stake were stages in the march of civil and religious liberty which our forefathers had to travel, in order that we might attain our present freedom.… “… Before our children remove their religious connexions, … —before they leave the old paths of God’s Word, …—before they barter their birthright for a mess of pottage—let us… let them know that they are the sons of the men ‘of whom the world was not worthy,’ and whose sufferings for conscience’ sake are… monumentally recorded.” Happy Thanksgiving from The Foundation for American Christian Education

After three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were amazed at His understanding and His answers. When they saw Him, they were astonished; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have treated us this way? Behold, your father and I have been anxiously looking for You." And Jesus said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?” Luke 2:46-49 (NASB)
